Inglot Philippines is Coming!

We're counting the days! I am so excited to have Inglot here in Manila. I've seen the product up close when I was in the US and it was just so pigmented and rich. I am definitely queuing to grab my own eye shadow pan on opening day!

The clock is ticking!

Save that Makeup! DIY Fix for your Beat Up Faves

Don't you just hate it whenever you drop you bag and you hear that ominous cracking sound knowing for that was the wail of your favorite blush breaking into pieces? I can clearly remember one heartbreaking scene when that happened to my Bobbi Brown Bronzing Powder. I just teared up seeing the chaos upon opening my bag. Powder all over the place and cracked into bits and pieces is my bronzer. Sigh! There goes the money. 

I wished I saw this DIY before. Had I found out that I can salvage it, I wouldn't have easily chucked it to the garbage can. Thanks again to the awesome team of The Beauty Department for giving us this solution.

BDJ Box Beauty Social Primp and Beautify Event

The perils of the birthday month, you're just too busy celebrating and having fun that you end up forgetting your blog! I know this is definitely bad practice, but apparently quite a lot of people love me so much that they just want to celebrate my birthday for a whole month! LOL! Kidding aside, please pardon me for doing a photo dump (the last resort to keep a blog active). Regular posting will resume shortly so please don't leave me my dear loves!

By the way the event posted here is the BDJ Beauty Social event held at the Sky Dome at SM North. Super fun day as they had lined up very interesting and educating talks per the hour.

Slap it On: Lip Smacker Coca-Cola Edition

From my past posts, you've heard me screaming my love for lipsticks. The love is just so intense that if in the not too distant future, that zombie apocalypse erupts I know for a fact that I will be eaten and die because I couldn't decide which shade of lipstick I'll be bringing as zombies trample my door.

Because of this passion for lipsticks, I am of course a regular victim of discolored, dry, peeling lips. And when I say peel, I literally mean that I can pull out chunks of dry skin that can put a shedding snake to shame. I know this can be easily remedied by a very good lip moisturizer like lip balms. But as you also know, I am a very lazy person. If I can skip corners to get things done faster (but not putting the quality on the line mind you), I will take that route without qualms. And waiting for lip balms to set before applying lipstick is just a very long route.

So I figured, maybe I just need to make my lip balming experience a lot more fun so I'd love to do it more. Enter the Lip Smacker Coca-Cola Edition.

Of Life's Questions and What-not's

How do I prettify for an event? I was asked to answer this question in my bid to score passes to the upcoming Beauty Social Event brought to you by BDJ Box team. It sort of morphed into a blog post as I felt this is one of life's questions that anyone can really relate to and can show some insight on a person's character. 

Hmmm... Let me count the ways. But unfortunately if I go and count all the ways, I'd end up talking myself blue even before I get to finish. Anyway just to make things simple, I'll just focus on the 3 easy steps I take whenever I'm preparing for an event. 

Step 1:

Take advantage of the reason to stay longer in your bath. 

Makeup can only do so much. A clean, smooth and healthy skin the best base for anything. So I take my time scrubbing my skin with my favorite Human Nature Body Scrub and make sure to rub it all the areas I don't get to put much attention on during my daily bath. This just helps in breaking down all the dry skin, making way for the new supple layer of skin.
